Integrated Circuit Help for Radio Head Unit
Hey Everyone,
I need some help with an integrated circuit for my 2008 Beetle. This is for the radio head unit. A cluster of buttons on the radio console do not work (most frustratingly the disc eject). I believe I have traced the problem to the circuit with the buttons (you can see the non-functioning buttons surrounding the volume dial). The red circle represents the missing element and the blue circle represents what I believe to be the element that is missing.
As you can tell from that last sentence I am a little outside my league on this. Here are my questions:
- What is the black piece inside the blue circle?
- Is it what is missing from the red circle?
- Where /How do I buy a new one?
- Can you give me any information that would help me?
Thanks Everyone!

Thank you @oldturkey03 !!
I measured the diode/transistor, the dimension of the ‘box’ are 2.88mm x 1.55mm (A&B from link).
I measured the G&L of the missing diode/transistors. It appears the G is 1.3 and the L is 0.65 so I believe it would be SOT323.
- What are my next steps?
- Do the dimensions indicate it is a transistor or diode? I am uncertain.
- Will purchasing one and soldering it on solve my problem?
- Where can I purchase a replacement unit?
Thank you for your help!! It is much appreciated!

You can get the signal diodes and transistors at places at places like mouser.com etc.
Since schematic etc. are not readily available we'll have to guess a bit. Of course there are no guarantees with any of this which is all the more reasons why schematics should be made readily available to the end user. https://www.ifixit.com/Right-to-Repair/I...
Look for MMBD 1405 diodes and 2SC5007-FB transistor. You can download teh datasheet for the transistor on here https://www.mouser.com/ds/2/286/ne68119-...
and for the Diode right here https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/149/M...
I am still thinking that by the circuit I'd go for the diode. Buy a couple of each and replace the missing part. I'd go with the Diode first and see what happens.
